I know we are supposed to be less suspicious of other people's hidden motivations, but as you say when you see the same thing for the 5th or 6th time it carries much less import.
But like I said this is only one issue, but with the others this has done it for me...
I did not and still do not look fondly at this adminstrations attempts to hamstring Israel, and the constant "urging of restraint" after a "martyr" detonates themselves and in the process kills a dozen or so people in a bus, a bus stop, or a resturant. My faith owes quite a bit to the stability of the "Zionist" government and I am quite certain that without it there would be no temple on Mount Carmel. To see our milatry in Iraq using many of the same tactics the Israelis use only shows that this administration is following a policy of do we say not as we do to Israel.
That and after Bush's interview with the visiting Chinese dignatary where he essentally stated the PRC's line on Taiwan in light of President Chens statements that he would hold a "security referendum" disgust me. The Bushbots(tm) were out in full force that day rationalizing it. Heaven forbid a people have democratic asperations and it be "incovienent" for us to support them.
If this gets me on a list then so be it, no more playing a conservative, I'm a moralist.
Now lets see if a moralist will get zotted.
